登入Vera thought her life was over the moment she caught her fiancee cheating with his ex. Broken and filled with pain, she is approached by a billionaire who presents a simple contract to her. Let’s get married. Sylas Gold is the man admired by the entire world. He is untouchable, powerful and incredibly controlled. Their marriage was supposed to be a contract. A performance. It was a way for both of them to win. When Vera is kidnapped by a man who looks at her like she’s already his, she learns the truth Sylas never told her, about his mafia empire, the blood, and the brother who was supposed to be gone. Cassian Gold is the man who wants everything his brother has, including Vera. Now caught between two brothers bound by hatred, power, and obsession, Vera must decide who to trust in a world where love is dangerous, loyalty is fragile, and desire might just be her downfall.
查看更多Sylas' POV:"Boss, we found him."The words echoed through the phone. And for a moment, I didn't move, breathe or think.Beside me, Vera must have heard him through the phone, because she had gone completely still.“What did you say?” I asked, as I felt my pulse begin to hammer hard against my ribs.It had taken months of chasing shadows, of dodging attacks and kidnappings. Months of watching Cassian smiling as he tried to take me down, and now, I had finally got him."Boss?" The commander's voice pulled me back. “I said, we have found him.”I sat up in bed immediately, and every single trace of exhaustion in my body vanished completely."Listen to me carefully." I started, my mind already spinning as I thought about what next I needed to do. “You are not to engage,” I ordered, my voice colder than I intended."Sir?" the commander’s tone was confused,"Do not engage," I repeated, “And do not let Cassian or any of his men know that they have been found.”The moment I said that, the com
Sylas' POVWith a frown on my face, I took out my phone and glanced down at the screen. It was a call from one of my field commanders. My frown deepened as I answered,"What is it?" I hissed,"Boss." His voice was low and urgent enough that I immediately knew that he had important news for me. "We've got movement," he continued before I could ask more.I straightened, and Vera stared at me with raised brows."What kind of movement?" I asked, a hint of hope rising within me,"Just like you ordered, we have been tracking around the area Cassian was last found in,”My grip tightened around the phone as I cut him off before he went off on a last tirade, "And?" I hissed, “What did you find?”"We have started tracking a couple of guys that we know are very close to Cassian,” he started, “I just called to tell you that we were getting very close.”For the first time all evening, something close to satisfaction began to stir up within me. The news was not enough to brighten my day. Vera had d
Sylas' POVIt took a long time for me to finish up, so by the time I left Gold Corp, night had already begun to settle slowly over the city. So, when I finally stepped out of the company doors, most people would have already gone home hours ago.But I wasn’t like most people. After all, most people didn’t have a murderous brother who was out to get them and destroy their entire empire.With a frown on my face, I loosened my tie as I walked up to the open back door of my car and stepped in. The moment I sat down and all the exhaustion left my body.All day, I had been thinking about Cassian, and even now, I could still see his smug face sitting across from my desk. I could even still hear his voice, and remember the arrogance in his tone.My jaw tightened, but at least now, I had hope. Because I had finally found a trail leading straight to him. And when I found him, all of this would end.One way or another, I was going to get rid of him.I spent the entire ride home in silence. Even
Sylas' POV:The moment the office door shut behind Cassian, my smile disappeared off my face, and so did every trace of satisfaction that I had felt.Now that Cassian was gone, I could actually think and process all that had just happened in the last few minutes. The reality of it all hit me at once, and I realized just how close I had come to death.My brother had walked into my company, walked right into my office, sat in my chair, and somehow, he had managed to do all of that with a straight face. And it wasn’t because he was strong. No, it was because my security had either failed, or had betrayed me.Either scenario was enough for me to go nuclear.My jaw tightened as my grip on the gun tightened. With a frown on my face, I looked down and stared at the gun for a couple of seconds before gently laying it down, then, with that same focused gaze, I reached for my phone and dialed a cell.The phone rang once before immediately connecting."Boss?" A man’s voice filled the room,"Cass
Vera’s POV:I blinked. I wasn’t exactly shocked by his words, I knew exactly why he wanted to be my driver. After all, I had been kidnapped twice in the past couple of weeks. At this point, I already knew that there was absolutely no way that Sylas was going to allow me move through the city alone
Ella’s POV:Ella Gold was kind, Ella Gold was generous, Ella Gold was always smiling.All of those statements were lies, and most people knew that. Yet, they all still underestimated her.It amused her sometimes, but other times, she considered it an insult just how much people think she didn’t kno
Sylas’ POV:My wife stood there at the door, shocked, paralyzed and exhausted.Her hair was messy, her breathing uneven, and I could still spot fear in her eyes.But the moment I saw her walking in, something inside me nearly gave out. Relief rushed through me so hard, that I let out a loud, visibl
Vera’s POV:For the first time in a long time, I was completely terrified. This was the kind of fear that crawled beneath your skin and made you close your eyes in disbelief.I stared blankly as Cassian calmly sat down beside me, and then, when he spoke, I flinched,“There she is,” he murmured soft
